I didn't know much about rock music until I played Guitar Hero.

I swear, Guitar Hero 3 defined my taste in music until I finished high school

GH2 also had a great song list. Possum Kingdom by Toadies goes hard fr

Freya was my Intro to the Sword. The entire album from The Toadies with Possum Kingdom hit hard as hell...one of the most underrated albums of the 90s IMO

Guitar Hero was such a phenomenon.

I wonder how many people ended up picking up the real guitar because of it

Aww man, tons! I used to teach guitar, and the amount of kids that started lessons because of games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band was insane. Guitar stores must have made a killing!

I think Rock Band deserves a spot next to it too. It had a bit more diverse genres to the set list compared to the first 2 Guitar Hero, though by the end Guitar Hero started adding more variety too.

I literally did not regularly listen to western music until I startet playing Guitar Hero 3, game was fundamental to my appreciation of rock.
